What is your most beautiful pen?

[richardandtracy]

My Duofold is my all-out prettiest

And my sub $120 prettiest is a Parker 61 Classic with a Burgundy colour (no photo) in very good nick. I want a Custom in that colour, but can't find one at an acceptable price.

 

Regards,

 

Richard.

This is my most beautiful pen...

Danitrio custom Sunflower and Butterfly Maki-e pen

[significantpass]

My most beautiful pen is a Dunhill-Namiki, which I have yet to find information on. Under $120, an Eversharp Skyline blue moire(I think that's what it's called)

[gkterry]

My prettiest at any price: Pelikan Polar Lights

 

Prettiest at under $120: Sandal Brown Van Gogh Midi (thanks to Bryant it came in at $119 a few months back). That is it in the picture to the left.

Most of my pens aren't what I'd call lookers, so I guess the best looking one I have is my Waterman Exception with the silver trim.

[kiavonne]

These:

 

Danitrio Takumi Akikazu no Tsuki (my "moon" pen with haiku.)

 

Danitrio Octagon Larkspur and Ladybirds (my custom pens by master artisan, Mr. Masanori Omote.)

 

(custom, limited edition pen for the FPN Danitrio Fellowship by master artisan, Mr. Tatsuya Todo, video graciously made by Shinchan4810.)

 

Danitrio Densho, I believe it is called Bara no Karakusa (Rose in Arabesque), by master artisan, Koichiro Okazaki. Technically this isn't quite mine yet, but it is in the process. This is winedoc's picture on his photobucket account, be careful or you will be jumping into the Danitrio rabbit hole, too!

 

and finally,

 

Nakaya Neo Standard (my custom Nakaya with a ladybug in yakoh maki-e on the section.)

[LedZepGirl]

Probably my Wahl Doric or my Parker True Blue.

Most beautiful at any price? I can't decide between these:

 

S. T. Dupont Vertigo II

Stipula DaVinci Cracked Ice

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j66/sexauerw/StipulaDaVinciCrackedIceopen-1.jpg

 

Sailor-Levenger Imperial Tiger-Eye

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j66/sexauerw/Sailor-LevengerImperialTiger-Eye.jpg

 

 

 

Most beautiful less than $120? Has to be this one:

Danitrio Brillante

My musk green Van Gogh Midi. It is mostly a dark forest green, but it has orange, yellow, and black swirls and streaks. I love it!

 

Edit to say: My green Esterbrook SJ is very close in the running.

In terms of more expensive pens, here's one that got away from me on eBay. . . .

To me, that's practically the definition a "classic" fountain pen.

 

And it was a factory stub to boot.

 

Lovely pen, my favorite so far.

 

Do you know what model it is?

[Fuddlestack]

Big, black and shiny with gold appointments, whereabouts and manufacture as yet unknown so not yet mine. But 'twill come...

[aloofy]

My most beautiful pen : Caran d'ache Madison(old model, with epée clip). I bought it just because I loved the appearance, slender and elegant.. I (secretly) call it "Madame la comtesse", especially when it behaves very picky.

Most beautiful pen under $120 : Pilot Prera. Looks very similar to Pelikan M205's(especially the white one).

[Larry T]

My Signum Nova in Cinnamon with vermeil trim, is my most beautiful pen. Pictures don't do it justice, but here's one I did a while back:

What makes it even better, is the fact that I won it from Empire Pens by doing the Stylus crossword puzzle.

Less than 120$: Parker 51

 

More tahn 120 $: Auroroa 88 (new model) but I have P51 that cost me more than 120$... :puddle:

[SimonJamesLucas]

I like fairly traditional looking pens, so I guess it would be the following:

 

Less than $120, my Sigma Style in Shell, above $120 my Conway Stewart Dandy lever filler in Bronze.

 

Tough choices, I think even the humble Parker 45 is a very beautiful object as of course is the 51 but as you say Junoro, beauty is subjective.

[Ernst Bitterman]

The prettiest... hard to choose. Here's the candidates in my tribe, all cost me WELL below $100 (because I can fix 'em myself):

 

A Wyvern (I think...);

A Waterman Thorobred (that's how they spelled it);

A Parker Vacumatic;

A Sheaffer Sentinel;

...and it's not pretty, but this Packard is quite interesting.

The most beautiful pen I have is the ST Dupont Opus X. Holding it is like holding a Fuente cigar.
